A +0.2 µC charge is in an electric field. What happens if that charge is replaced by a +0.4 µC charge?

Physics
1 answer:
AleksandrR [38]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

It is known that electric field is responsible for creating electric potential. As a result, it depends only on the electric field and not on the magnitude of charge.

So, when a charge is increased by a factor of 2 then electric potential will remain the same. Since, expression to calculate the electric potential is as follows.

                 U = qV

Since, the electric potential is directly proportional to the charge. Hence, when 0.2 \mu C tends to replaced by 0.4 \mu C then charge is increased by a factor of 2. Hence, the electric potential energy is doubled.

Thus, we can conclude that if that charge is replaced by a +0.4 µC charge then electric potential stays the same, but the electric potential energy doubles.

Please help with science! Describe the magnetic field in the vicinity of a bar magnet.
Katen [24]
The magnetic field is described mathematically as a vector field<span>. This vector field can be plotted directly as a set of many vectors drawn on a grid. Each vector points in the direction that a compass would point and has length dependent on the strength of the magnetic force. </span>

What’s the potential difference across a 5.0 ohms resistor that carries a current of 5.0A
vivado [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is B-25 V

Explanation:

We apply Ohm's Law, according to which:

V = i x R

V = 5A x 5Ω

V= 25 V

Being V the potential difference whose unit is the VOLT, i the current intensity (Ampere) and R the electrical resistance (ohm)

Define static electricity and ohms law​
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Static electricity : is a familiar electric phenomenon in which charged particles are transferred from one body to another

Ohm's law : states that the voltage or potential difference between two points is directly proportional to the current or electricity passing through the resistance
